MetaLlama-3.1 405BVSZ.ai (Zhipu AI)GLM-4.6
Our Take
We recommend GLM-4.6 if you need peak intelligence and a much larger context window for full-repo analysis, or the free Llama-3.1 405B if you want zero API costs and total offline privacy. While GLM-4.6 offers superior reasoning capability (hostable locally or via API), Llama-3.1 405B runs entirely on your own local hardware. Choose GLM-4.6 for repository-scale analysis, or Llama-3.1 405B for zero-cost offline privacy and basic standalone code completion and simple functions.
